Let’s all say a big warm ‘welcome’ to Epoch’s coming of age Catapult Vineyard, contributing 46% to our Estate Blend and playing very well with our Paderewski grapes (54% of the blend). More than serious enough to lay down for a decade but delicious enough to enjoy any night of the week. Scores: WA 91; IWR 92

2009

Our 2009 Estate Blend is a patch work of different vineyard blocks and soil types on our Paderewski Vineyard. Predominantly Syrah combined with almost all the other red varieties we have on the estate, this wine gives a sweeping glimpse of the vineyard as a whole alongside all of our innovative and site-specific winemaking practices. Almost Bordelaise in character, this wine expresses savory and refined fruit character: dried leather, red cherry, tobacco, smoked game and brown spice. The five different varieties form a cohesive, expressive wine with great texture, length and longevity in bottle. Drink now or with up to 15 years cellar age. Scores: RR 92; IWC 91
